Happy Halloween!!!!!!

Like my costume bitches?

I'm Loca for Shakira

For the past few days, this song has been my daily theme song. It's constantly replaying in my head, and it seriously is driving me crazy.

Anyways, watch it, enjoy it, and become obsessed with Shakira's hips, like how I have become.

I HEART SHAKIRA!

15 seconds of #1

Ooooooh Myyyyyy Beeeegeeeeezzzzzzzuuuussssss!!!!

This commercial right here seriously makes me want to take my bra off and throw it at the screen! So starring in this 15 second stint for Kodak is my Numero uno, Pitbull. I have seen these commercials on TV before, but never had the chance to blog about them.

This commercial, however, I have never seen, and I was going to actually post another Kodak commercial starring not only one, but TWO men in my top 10. This commercial consisted of not only Pitbull but also my off and on number 8, Drake. When I first saw the commercial with these 2 hunks of love in it, I nearly passed out from so much joy and pitter patter of the heart. It was reDONKulous.

So why didn't you post that commercial Mrs. Malan? Well....I was going to post that particular one, but when I went on youtube, and then discovered that Pitbull had another commercial with Kodak, and saw how yummy and sexy pants (and I said pants, because really, his "pants" did it for me) this man looked, it totally cancelled out the Drake/Pitbull commercial, and kept Mr. 305 the reigning #1.

Anyways....My heart is starting to beat fast again, so let me leave you with this delicious clip. Enjoy.....

Carpool is not all party.

  Carpool.

 For those of you who are not residents of Cali, let me fill you in on what this crazy little concept is.  Carpool is where you hop into a car with a total stranger and commute with them to the city.  This is helpful to all who enter the car because carpool has their own lane on the freeway....and therefore eliminating the stress of traffic and getting to work faster.

So anyways....I'm talking about this subject here because today, because whilst my stay here for the next few months, I was able to work at my old job in the city.  This, therefore, forces me to partake in this commuting activity.  I'd rather do this crazy thang rather than pay an arm and a leg on gas, go through the stress of traffic, and pay for parking.  I'd rather leave that to someone else.

So let's talk about the experience.  When I got into the car this morning...and although I am a veteran of this, I still find it so odd.  I mean, first of all....as soon as I entered the car, I seriously did not experience a scene like so

We really are not all business type people who are constantly working on work stuff with a smile on our face like these weirdos up above.  Instead, I sense an environment of awkwardness.  It just feels so weird to be on a journey, although a short one, with 2 complete strangers, and not talk at all.  Also....these people that I rode with didn't seem too chipper.  They had a "don't f@#$ with me" type of attitude.  Not a  very happy place.  Now, I know that it is early in the buttcrack of dawn, but come on, at least a little smile please?  Whateva Bitch.

But then again, you also have the people that tend to talk too much....but that usually happens to me on days where I'm too tired to talk and I'm in a "I wanna punch you in the face" type of mood.  Life tends to play with me like that.

Another thing that makes me feel weird, is waiting in line for a car.  Unlike in the morning, where cars were lined up for riders, going home was reverse.  So here I was on the Streets of San Francisco, waiting for a car to pick me up.  Now, from reading that last sentence....didn't I just make my self sound like a total prostitute?  Riiiiiight?  And the thing is....you're waiting for a ride, but yet, you can get some psycho idiot who may like to kidnap people and tie them up, and bury them in some foreign land.  But that's my positive thoughts.

Now, let's talk about the drivers' driving techniques.  From my past experience, I have learned that some don't have any technique at all.  I have been in cars where it seemed the driver thought the brake pedal was the accelerator.  I mean, there were dozens of times where I know the alignment of my spine would have been messed up from that ride.  Constant breaking is not a fun thing to endure for 30+minutes.

There were other times where I seriously thought I was going to die from fear.  Some people swerved in and out of traffic at such fast speeds, I felt like there was going to be a person at our destination with a checkered flag.  So unnecessary.  

So anyway...those are my takes on this Mon through Friday mandatory activity.  As awkward and retarded it may be....I must admit, I do look forward to seeing what type of personalities I will encounter each day.  It's like buying a box of cracker jacks to see what type of toy you will get, only to get disappointed to find a sticker of a flag inside.  All that expecting excitement only to be demolished my something totally mundane and not as happy as you thought.  It's not all pool party in this carpool party.

Urban Ore

Today, I have officially died and gone to second-hand heaven.  So, now that I'm doing this whole Vintage biz thing on Etsy, I have become a second hand fanatic.  Anything and everything that looks, feels, and smells old, I go into collector's frenzy.  I want to take it, buy it, and give it a home.  But that's just me.

So anyways, one of my good friends, after finding of my new business, introduced me to this place located about 20 minutes away from my hood.  It's called Urban Ore.  Oh. Em. Ghee.  Anything you can think of, even subconsciously, this place got it.  I mean, this place got  everything, INCLUDING the kitchen sink!

SO let me go further into describing what this piece of heaven looks like.  First of all, it's a warehouse.  The first thing you see from the parking lot are columns of sinks, chairs, doors, toilets, etc.  As soon as you enter the huge warehouse, you see more columns of doors....then a few happy steps later, you see more columns of sectioned out junk.

I'm telling you, you can find things from old toys from the 50's, suitcases, wall outlets, clothes, glass dishes, phones from the 1800's, cameras, and all ranging through the years of the 1800's to present time.

It's a great place to buy furniture if you're on a budget,  props for a play, collectables that can be used for joy or decor, the possibilities are endless.  I'm sorry if I'm sounding too chipper about this place.  It's just so wonderful to my soul.  But anyway, if you are interested in more information about this place, here's their website:: http://urbanore.com/  I have to warn you, this website is just like their store.  It just goes on and on, plenty to read and discover.

Also....I was able to purchase some items for my etsy site.  Check it out ::

Pretty darn cool huh?  I thought so.

I did purchase a few more treasures.....and I'd like to plug in my site so that you can see some of the items. Booyah! http://www.etsy.com/shop/PRETTYrubbish

Good Genes

I have to say that Miss Willow Smith is the fiercest 9-year-old I have ever seen. Of course, being the daughter of 2 talented parents, I'm not surprised that this little girl right here can create such sick sounds and visual eye candy.

Watching this video gave me goose bumps and made me a little depressed, because I'm totally envious of this little girl's swag.

Mr. and Mrs. Will Smith. You did a great job.

LOL

I love funny, quirky websites with no meaning.  Anything that makes my tummy jiggle with laughter, will automatically go in my bookmark.  With that being said, check out this picture:

This picture made me laugh my brains out.  It's things like this that makes my day from being great to GREATER!  Anywho....this pic is from this website called http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/.  it's pretty much a website that consists of....well....awkward family photos.  And because I love to share, I thought I'd share this website to ya'll so that you can jiggle your tummies like me.  ENJOY!
